Last night i hit a deer going 70 miles per hr. On the highway. My leg airbags deployed but my steering wheel did not only the clips came out. Due to knee airbags i have huge bruises on both legs. I feel that the steering wheel has a defective airbag since it did not deploy. If i had hit a tree instead of a deer its possible i would not be here to file this it did not protect me at all.
